Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xirong put on a fake smile and walked over gracefully.

"So Sister Ling is here too, what a coincidence!" Gu Xirong said in an intimate tone with a concerned expression, "It's been a long time since we last met. I really miss you."

When Gu Xiling heard what Gu Xirong said, she felt ashamed.

Last time, Gu Xirong was sprayed away by her.

But Gu Xirong was able to show the deep sisterly love and concern for each other.

If Gu Xirong went to perform in opera, there would probably be no chance for the top actress Xiao Meihua!

Not only did Gu Xiling not put down the beautiful and exquisite jewelry in her hand, she also deliberately picked it up and shook it when Gu Xirong looked over.

Gu Xirong, who liked luxury and even extravagance, followed the golden hairpin with double peony branches in Gu Xiling's hands, as if her eyes were glued to it.

Gu Xirong was overwhelmed with emotions, as that was once her favorite piece of jewelry, but she couldn't afford to sell it now.

"This double-branch peony is too flashy. It's not suitable for me to wear it now. Give me the hibiscus and ruby ​​gold step-shaking hairpin in your bag." Gu Xiling chose the gold step-shaking style and looked down on the luxurious double-branch peony gold step-shaking hairpin.

Gu Xirong's defense broke down when she heard Gu Xiling's words.

Gu Xiling actually looked down upon the thing that she had been longing for but could not get.

"Yes, Madam." The shopkeeper smiled. This was a big customer who bought so much at one time. "I'll pack it for you right away."

"Thank you!" The shopkeeper was very attentive and carefully placed each piece of jewelry into several exquisite rosewood boxes.

Each set is worth a lot of money.

But the wife of the Marquis of Changning bought eight sets.

When Gu Xirong saw so many jewels about to be put into Gu Xiling's bag, she almost cried.

She couldn't afford any!

Gu Xiling waited until all the jewellery was put in order, and then she smiled softly as if she had just seen Gu Xirong.

"Sister Rong, what a coincidence, what kind of jewelry do you like? Lord Xie loves you so much, he must be willing to buy you the most beautiful and expensive jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion."

After several confrontations, Gu Xiling figured out Gu Xirong's "pulse" and was confident that she could easily anger Gu Xirong.

Sure enough, after Gu Xiling said this, Gu Xirong's defense was immediately broken.

She simply couldn't afford it, so she came here today to pick out some nice-looking jewelry from the mid- to low-end ones.

But in front of Gu Xiling, Gu Xirong couldn't bring herself to do this.

His envy, jealousy and hatred towards Gu Xiling reached its peak, but he still had to put on a brave face and not admit it.

"My husband is honest and upright, and he lives a frugal life. I have married into the Xie family, and I will follow my husband's lead and fully support him."

"My husband is now in a high position and has recently been promoted to the rank of General Guide, a fifth-rank official. He should be more careful with his words and actions and keep a low profile."

"Although my brother-in-law has been granted a new job by His Majesty, it is only an idle job of compiling agricultural books. It is really difficult for him to make achievements. Our daughter of the Gu family is dignified and virtuous, and has a great reputation. She must not be extravagant and waste money. She should be virtuous and support her husband and raise her children."

If they weren't outside, if there weren't so many outsiders around, Gu Xiling would definitely give Gu Xirong two huge eye rolls.

Being poor is fine, but you can't stand watching others buy things!

He speaks in high-sounding terms, but he still wants to step on her!

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Sister, you are wrong. I have money and I can buy jewelry that suits my taste. The merchants in the Treasure Pavilion will make money. Not only will the craftsmen make money, but the people who mine can also make money."

"If no one buys, the craftsmen will have no work and will go hungry; the miners will not be able to sell the jade they dig out and their families will not be able to make a living."

"Boss, don't you think so?"

Of course the shopkeeper spoke on Gu Xiling's side. If no one bought anything, the shop assistants in front of the Treasure Pavilion and the hundreds of craftsmen in the workshop would all be left with nothing.

"What the Crown Prince's wife said is that there are buyers and sellers, money and goods circulate, and everyone gets what they need."

Gu Xirong shook her head and laughed, "A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. Since your sister won't listen to me, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Gu Xiling also showed a perfect fake smile, with bright eyes and white teeth. No matter from which angle you look at her, she is extremely beautiful. "Since Sister is not here to buy jewelry, then why?"

Gu Xirong gritted her teeth secretly. More and more people came to the Treasure Pavilion. Some of them were secretly looking over here from a distance, covering their faces with fans.

Seeing these people's mocking eyes watching the show, Gu Xirong's vain and arrogant heart fell to the bottom.

"I just saw my sister on the street, so I ran over to her and wanted to talk to her. But she seemed to sneer at my words and didn't respond, which really made me sad."

Gu Xiling smiled sweetly and moved lightly, "Sister, what are you talking about? I miss you too! Since you miss me, let's go to the teahouse next door and have a seat. I'll treat you to some tea."

Gu Xirong was choked by Gu Xiling's pretentiousness. In order to get the words out, she had to show her joy, "Thank you, sister. Let's go."

Gu Xirong stood straight, smiling broadly, and looked very graceful.

Even though she was so jealous that her heart was about to bleed, Gu Xirong was still able to maintain her elegant demeanor in front of others.

Move to the teahouse, to the second floor room.

The two of them sat by the window, looking at the people coming and going outside, but their minds were all on each other.

In order to calm herself down, Gu Xirong kept comforting herself.

Marquis Changning would soon become a cripple, and he was quickly defeated.

Zhou Jin can only write sour poems and thinks highly of himself. He is still a minor official of the sixth rank.

It was just a book editor, and it was an agricultural book, not the Four Books and Five Classics that all scholars could use.

Zhou Jin is simply no match for the promising Xie Jin!

Gu Xiling must be blind to think that Zhou Jin is a good person and make plans for him.

Because of this, Gu Xirong now began to feel that Gu Xiling had not been reborn!

Gu Xiling's previous plan for Zhou Jin was just a coincidence.

If Gu Xiling was also reborn, how could she be so proud of marrying the good-for-nothing Zhou Jin? How could she be willing to give up her future husband Xie Jin, who would be a powerful figure?

After some psychological suggestion and self-guidance, Gu Xirong calmed down completely.

Anyway, Gu Xiling won’t be able to be proud for long!

After drinking half a cup of chrysanthemum tea, Gu Xiling withdrew her gaze from the street below and asked, "Sister Rong, why did Xiuzhen go to the eastern suburbs of Changning Marquis's manor?"

"No! Xiuzhen didn't go to see Aunt Bai!" Gu Xirong let down her guard and refuted without thinking.

If Gu Xiling knew about it in advance, how could she still watch the show?

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xirong with a half-smile, "Sister Rong, I didn't say Xiuzhen went to see Aunt Bai."

"You and I are both smart people, Sister Rong, don't beat around the bush. Tell me the truth, and I will make your life easier. If you don't tell me, and the Xie family is struggling to make ends meet, and you come to the Changning Marquis's mansion to ask for money, I might avoid you."

When Gu Xirong heard this, she started to rebel. Since she hadn't caught Xiuzhen in the act, she denied anything.

"Oh, Sister Ling, you are so arrogant that you scare me. Zhou Jin and I have known each other for three years. It is normal for me to know what Aunt Bai did and her whereabouts! Sister Ling, don't worry, I will starve to death rather than go to the Changning Marquis's Mansion."

Gu Xiling snorted lightly, remaining calm and composed.

Her white and slender fingers dipped in the tea in the teacup and wrote two words on the table.

After seeing this, Gu Xirong took a breath, looked up suddenly, and looked at Gu Xiling with a rather fierce look!
